ASBESTOS REFERENCE: 

Three articles in this book reference asbestos.

1) Toxic Dusts and Fumes by Lawrence T. Fairhall
"The toxic dusts and fumes of outstanding importance in industry, if we except silica and asbestos, are not particularly numerous."

2) The Causation of Pneumoconiosis by Philip Drinker
"Asbestos is the only silicate at present recognized as causing pathology which is definitely and distinctly different from that due to silica alone."
This article has a section on standards of dustiness, which talks about permissible dust concentrations.
It also has a section on the value of taking dust samples (measuring dust concentrations).

This article has a section on Asbestosis.  Information on:
Pathology of Asbestosis
Symptoms of Asbestosis
Physical Examination

Epidemiology - Incidence of Asbestosis
There is a table entitled "Silicosis and Asbestosis in Great Britain, Through 1934" which has the following information on Asbestosis and Asbestosis with tuberculosis: number of death, average age of death, and duration of employment.
